I tore up Stony Stratford once.
Ahhh Stony - I like the place. My friend once got arrested for pretending to be a terrorist there. True story.
Blimey, one of my grandads used to work in the gasworks there. That's a proper town, not a set of roundabout decorations like MK!
Small world mate - I have inkling where those gasworks were.
Me and 3 mates got pissed up there and slept in a car in a car park off the high street. I was sent looking for breakfast provisions very early doors and was caught by a patrol car trying to snaffle a couple of pints of milk and a newspaper from outside a local shop (for local people obviously).
Anyway, the link to this thread was that the police officer was Henrik Mkhteknkgnrjgrj! Would you credit it!
LOL! Amazing coincidence!

Why do we bother? It has no bearing? Does it?
From Tor Kristian Karlsen:
I've still to come across a chief scout or sporting director from European clubs of a certain standard that has not placed Mkhitaryan very near the top of his summer wish list, but £20m plus for one player is proving hard to cough up on the continent these days.
The 24-year-old Armenian is blessed with a somewhat unconventional playing style. Though usually deployed rather deep in his attacking midfield role his quick feet, positional awareness and ability to exploit spaces and successfully execute actions in a snap second make him extremely hard to predict – and a lot more "concrete" and direct than the typical attacking midfielder. Add to that a high goal-scoring rate through the capability of finishing immaculately with both feet, as well as setting up his team-mates with an accurate killer pass, and Mkhitaryan could turn into a genuine Premier League hit.

@Bild is reporting that Mkhitaryan has set his mind on joining Dortmund, and agreed personal terms with them. Fee remains a problem. #LFC
Sky Germany are reporting that a @BVB delegation have flown to Donezk today.
I personally wasn't convinced Dortmund's interest was real. But they wouldn't fly to the Ukraine if it wasn't serious & seen as possible,imo
Eriksen: my understanding is that Dortmund just aren't sold on him. Back-up of various back-ups, at best
should add that "Dortmund bosses have flown to Ukraine" story came from Sky Germany's BVB reporter @Sky_StephanS . Good one to follow
"only some legal details yet to be finalised"
@Sky_StephanS has just reported live on air that Dortmund and Donezk have agreed the transfer.
Gaarrrrggghhhhhh.... lock this murrfurrrrrr
Agreed a fee with Shaktar, but what about the 3rd party owners? Or the player himself?
I'll cry for a week if we miss out now.
Strange if we baulk at a price of 25 mill € if the Echo said we would spend up to 25 mill £.
Ukrainian journo:
@YaroLFC: My man at Shakhtar says that no meeting requests came from BVB. Which always happens when a club flies to negotiate a deal
@YaroLFC: If BVB delegation will really be in Donetsk (i still dont get why tho, as HM is owned by armenians), i will certainly let all of you know

Liverpool look set to miss out on one of their prime transfer targets this summer with Henrikh Mkhitaryan likely to join Borussia Dortmundinstead. The German club sent a delegation to Donetsk on Friday with the CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke and the sporting director Michael Zorc reportedly striking a deal believed to be worth €25m (£21.5m) for the midfielder to join the Champions League runners-up.
Brendan Rodgers had earmarked the Armenian as a key recruitment this summer but it now appears that he will have to look elsewhere to strengthen his midfield. There were no news on whether the player had agreed personal terms with Dortmund but the German club have money to spend after selling Mario Götze for €37m to Bayern Munich and Watzke said recently that the club may spend up to €50m this summer.
Dortmund have already signed the defender Sokratis, from Werder Bremen for around €8m, and the striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, from St Etienne for €13m.
Liverpool have so far brought in Luis Alberto (Sevilla), Iago Aspas (Celta Vigo), Simon Mignolet (Sunderland) and Kolo Touré on a free transfer.
seriously fucking predictable
If he does end up coming I hope he's good, and if he doesn't I hope we spend the money on another player who's even better.
